Main Issues

1. Where a store is destroyed by a tort, whether it is possible to claim the compensation for damage sustained by the failure to use the store in addition to the exchange price;

2. The case cited a claim for the paint against damage to a building; and

Summary of Judgment

1. In the event that a store is destroyed due to a tort, the ordinary damages are deemed to be included in the exchange price of the store at the time of the tort and the profits which could have been gained by using the store are included in the above exchange price. Therefore, the damages suffered by the failure to use the said store separately cannot be claimed.

2. If a victim and his/her family have resided for not less than 20 years and a house and a store that operated a bank for the purpose of maintaining their livelihood have been destroyed to the extent that it is impossible to reconstruct or repair due to a traffic accident, it is obvious in light of the empirical rule that the victim would have suffered a large number of mental suffering, and therefore, the perpetrator has a duty to avoid it.
